Really good burrito, fresh ingredients, great flavours. Vegan burrito was really good. The season margarita ‘pumpkin spice’ was a little disappointing. Not sure what I expected but it DID taste like it has pumpkin juice in it!
Great spot. Server Daniel R was very attentive, fast, polite and accurate with my order. Drinks here are great, the music and vibe is nice! Would definitely recommend again and the free drink token is a added bonus! Keep up the good work and providing excellent customer service.
We ordered the Baja fish Taco, ground beet taco, chips and salsa, Brussels sprouts, and tostada salad. The food was pretty mediocre Mexican food and lacked seasoning. The margarita was tasty so if you do decide to come, you should come for the happy hour. We got two drinks for the price of one. It's worth it. There were a few vegetarian options, but I would say not as much for someone who eats only vegetarian food. The beet taco was a vegan option and tastes pretty good. Overall, I would not really recommend this spot, and we probably would not return.
We went for happy hour which was a 2 for 1 deal but they never brought us our 2nd drink. The restaurant was nearly empty yet the hostess was rude and the waiter was no where to be found for 15 minutes at a time. The table next to us experienced the same experience and they said the same thing about never being brought their second drink.
Great spot for Mexican/Tex-Mex, quite reasonable prices, and really good with the expected margaritas and similar mixed drinks. In addition to all the standard fare - tacos, burritos, nachos - I especially like the esquites (street corn, off the cob) and the Brussels sprouts.
The only knock I have is cleanliness. Our last trip we were seated at the window in a half full restaurant (the table was fully set), but the table was sticky, the chairs had crumbs, and old, crusty guacamole adorned the edge in one side.
Aside from that though, the servers are awesome, the drinks strong, and the atmosphere convivial.

The Baja fish bowl (with Mexican rice, mango salsa and black beans) had a good balance of textures and flavors. The chili cilantro fries were less successful because you couldn’t taste the chiffonade of cilantro because of the heavy dusting of chili powder. I wish it was just regular fries with chili cilantro aioli instead.
Ordered a variety of dishes. Food was quite good but the service at times didn’t match the quality. Margaritas were supposed to really good but the buildup didn’t match this quality either.
Good food and service! The happy hour deal is great and the margaritas are delicious! However keep in mind the buy one get one deal is a little confusing, if you buy one drink you get another one when you redeem your token, not if you buy two at once the other is free.
